Multitargets drug for Sepsis: Mechanistic studies of drug action through mitigating infection and inflammatory responses associated with sepsis. Oct 1, 2023 - Sep 30, 2025
Sepsis is a life-threatening clinical condition caused by an overreacting immune system fighting an infection. It is often treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics together with anti-inflammatory drugs. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of the...
